Set
Stallinks
Falinks-Lasia @ Leftovers 
Ability: Iron Barbs
Careful Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Iron Defense
Body Press
Legion's Curse
Protect
Falinks utilizes the strong DoT damage caused by Legion's Curse to chip down opposing walls and in combo with Iron Barbs can be extremely threatening to opposing physical attackers with contact. Fully investing in special defense makes it a good wall with its base 100 SpD and in combination with Leftovers and Iron Defense it can be an extremely annoying wall who can chip down most mons with Legion's Curse.
Rest Talk Stamina Press
Falinks-Lasia @ Leftovers
Ability: Stamina
Careful Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Rest
Sleep Talk
Legion's Curse
Body Press
This Stamina Rest Talk set is extremely threatening because if Falinks is allowed to farm just a few Stamina Defense boosts, it can get out of hand and feel almost unkillable in combination with Leftovers recovery. In combo with this potent defensive combo and Legion's Curse, this set can roll entire teams and threaten some other Pokemon.
Team Options
Weaknesses
While Falinks is extremely threatening if its allowed to set up, and when it gets a few boosts, it can easily be handled if you're proactive with it and stop it from setting up in such a manner. Unboosted, its Defense is pitiful, and if you can take advantage of that with something such as Acrobatics, or Brave Bird, Falinks-Lasia can easily be handled. And once it has gotten a few boosts, it can't boost it's Special Defense in anyway, leaving it vulnerable to a strong Shadow Ball or Special Flying/Ghost/Psychic move.
